More than fifty years ago, America was taken by storm when Al Capp introduced the Shmoo in his comic strip Li'l Abner. The adorable squash-shaped character was so popular it immediately spawned the largest merchandising craze in the nation's history. In the words of Life magazine, the nation was "Shmoo-struck." The Short Life and Happy Times of the Shmoo collects, for the first time in one volume, Capp's essential comic strips about the Shmoo. This is Al Capp and his incisive social criticism at its best.

About the Author
Al Capp (1909-1979) created the comic strip Li'l Abner-featuring the exploits of Daisy Mae, Ma and Pa Yokum, Sadie Hawkins, and the Shmoo. The Dogpatch hillbillies struck a chord with Depression-plagued Americans and the strip ran from 1934 until 1977.
